Living on the Dark Side: Typical day in the life of Ukrainian Darth Vader (PHOTOS)

Imperial ambitions and dark side deeds are no excuse from chores, especially for a Ukrainian Internet Party leader, who officially changed his name to Darth Vader and never appears in public without a Star Wars villain costume.

Darth Mykolaiovych Vader begins his day early has he walks his dog along the Black Sea shore in the Ukrainian port city of Odessa, a Reuters photojournalist found out after spending a day with a Ukrainian man.

The politician promised to tackle Ukraine’s problems in ways worthy of his movie namesake, like commissioning a Death Star to boost the economy and defense sectors, as well as making Sith the official language.
